No. I like cars that are done right such as Dom's car, USMD8's car and LS1FBODY's car. "Done right" is a matter of opinion. Am I allowed to have opinions, or should I just be a nutswinger like a lot of people on this site? I draw the line at 215's on 9.5" wheels and more than 5* of camber.
Don't jump all over me because I'm not a lemming.

Normally I remove the pic but going to leave it this time.
But maybe im too much of a performance guy to ever understand the stretched tire look.
Theres absolutely no performance gain of any sort doing this. Everythings decreased...
Im all for visual mods... but not when they take away from the performance of the car

That looks dangerous.. I,m taking bets that if this were on a circle track car it would hit the wall...

When was the last time you saw a Stanced car with stretched tires on a circle track???
.....and who in the hell actually races on a circle track anyways?

Those are specialized tires designed for that purpose as well as the sidewall flex helps with launch of the vehicle. Pulling the tire in that much risks the bead popping off as well as far worse tire life. The tires people use for stance werent ever designed for it. While I think your old setup doesnt look bad to me I just cant justify all the cons of this setup. I will always be a performance before show guy. So not knocking your style.
